997 Transmission Problems?

[FrankT]

I'm looking to purchase a 2005-2007 997 Carrera (6 speed manual) as a daily driver.

I have found a couple of 05's on line with Carfax reports which indicate "transmission removed for repair". These cars have <40k miles and one car had "transmission removed for repair" at 14k miles and again at 20k miles.

I also found an owner review on Edmunds which stated his car had an "unreliable transmission"

Are there issues with these cars?

Post this on the 997 forum.

There is no 997 forum., on the tranny problem, it's a known fact that the third gear synchro goes bad early, specially on early 997 cars, it is less frequent on later cars, it was an issue with the trans. manufacturer supplier (Japanesse tranny).,cheers.
